We’re the Only Ones Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Enough

A Portsmouth police officer charged with driving under the influence in Hampton reached 100 miles per hour on the interstate and later kicked an officer during her arrest, according to court documents. Carmen Johnson also allegedly made remarks about the arresting officer’s race and commented about a “dislike of white people,” police allege in the court documents. [More]

She’s a victim of coicumstance…

What a thing to arm and set upon the normals…

Chech Your Premises

The Colonel confronted Daraev, an altercation ensued, and Daraev was shot multiple times. [More]

Good thing it was outside Fort Br… uh…Liberty.

Now describe the what an “altercation” justifying lethal force looks like, because the accounts I’ve seen have been light on the details.

Well, yeah. Answering directly, truthfully, and completely would not be a good look.

Although, truthfully, if Republicans, when in power, didn’t prosecute the JBTs over hundreds of dead Mexicans, what are the chances, if they don’t blow it in November, that they’ll strap ’em on over one airport administrator?

And with no arrests, ther’s no other information to share with us at this time…? Not even descriptions to warn the public to look out for…?

Naturally, “Lansing Mayor Andy Schor issued a statement calling for more state and federal action on gun control…”

He sounds like a broken record.

I see they don’t like the First Amendment any more than they do the Second.

Why someone is attacking me becomes irrelevant when the immediate object is to stop him. Their grief does not legitimize their demand to send lethal force equipped enforcers after me to take my property and abridge my rights.

It’s a shame to see them exploited as useful idiot pawns by the cultural Marxists.

Common Cause

Let me also respond to your “in common use” argument. There is no “in common use” tradition. [More]

I agree:

The Second Amendment does not say “the right of the people to keep and bear arms in common use at the time shall not be infringed.” If it had, the Anti-Federalists would have told the Framers to go to hell.

Then there’s this:

Dangerous and Unusual? It’s a lie and does not exist. [More]

And again…

Interesting reading that also links to “The Historical Tradition and Analogue Lie in Bruen“…

As for this charge, I’d need to see links, specifics and context. What citizen disarmament edicts has Mark W. Smith endorsed? My biggest disgreement with him — and other prominent 2A attorneys — so far has been when they say stuff like ATF doesn’t have the authority but Congress does. Huge deferring to stare decisis vs. “shall not be infringed” hole, that one, but even there that doesn’t mean he’d be for a ban, and for the most part I think he’s been among the best, especially with his insights into SCOTUS.

If Not a Pillar of Support at Least a Fifth Column…

Mad? Sad? Inspired? Fired up and ready to take action? You don’t need to wait for an organization to start a petition on an issue that’s important to you. Start your own petition right now. It will just take a few minutes, and we’ll be here to support you. [More]

If I had time, I might try to see what kind of “support” they’d give me for “Repeal the NFA,” or… ?

If anyone cares to try, let us know what happens.

Always Think Forfeiture

The latest high court action came in a 6-3 decision in Culley v. Marshall, where the justices held that there are “no due process protections for citizens in asset forfeiture proceedings to have an early court hearing to contest the government keeping possession of their seized property while they await trial.” [More]

“6-3″…? The Democrats voted right and the “pro-gun” judges voted wrong…?

What’s a government with an unlimited war chest stripping innocent-until-proven-guilty defendants of resources to defend themselves have to do with guns?
